How to Hear The Holy Spirit

Preparation

Lord, I want to hear The Holy Spirit so I can do Your Will and be guided as to how to be Your follower. I give this desire to You and am sorry for anything I have done wrong in this area.

In Jesus’ Name I command any demons that are blocking me from hearing the Truths that The Holy Spirit Jesus wants me to hear and understand to go immediately to the abyss. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to take their place.

Lord, I give You my gifts and abilities to use as You will, any ministry you give or have given me as well as all my purposes and plans. I am sorry for the things I have done wrong with them, as I want to use them as You want me to.

How You Hear Him

Unless The Holy Spirit or Satan actually appear to you, they can only talk to you in your mind through speech, thoughts or emotions. When they are speaking it is as if they are your own thoughts or that you are talking to yourself. People mistake this for a disorder when demons are there speaking audibly in your mind, as if there are apparently two personalities in them. Also when The Holy Spirit is speaking, they usually think it is their own thoughts.

If it is not our thoughts then it is one or the other, either The Holy Spirit or Satan. You can actually hold a conversation with the Holy Spirit and ask Him questions and He will answer as it is appropriate.

You will need to silence your mind. You may have trouble hearing Him (The Holy Spirit) especially if you are in a place full of distractions or in a place where Satan rules. Remember He, the Holy Spirit, has a still, small (quiet) voice.

He will place an impression, picture, or thought in your mind, give you an emotion, or even speak to you in an audible voice. You will know it is from Him as it will not cause you to fear. He may speak in other ways than these, but these are the normal ways. You may feel a check in your spirit which is a ‘no’. If He does not reply it is also a ‘no’, so you just sit and wait till He releases you to do something.

The answer He gives will line up with The Bible, and you will have peace in your heart over it. Remember, God will not contradict His Word.

Remember that Satan will try and cause you doubt about what you are hearing then cause you to reason to say it is wrong or impossible so that you are not hearing correctly. Or at times he will block you hearing The Holy Spirit so you need to cast him out and stop him doing this these and ask The Holy Spirit again what you wanted to know.

If you do not hear from The Holy Spirit, ask the following:

Are you in a place in which Satan rules so that the spiritual atmosphere is blocking The Holy Spirit?

Are you in sin and do you need to deal with it using the five points?

Are you to ask this particular question of The Holy Spirit?

If you do not get an answer, it may not be the time to ask

It may not be the time to receive the answer

It may not be an appropriate question to ask

Are you to command demons that are blocking you from hearing the Holy Spirit to leave in Jesus’ Name?

Do you really want to hear the answer

Are you seriously listening or just going through the motions of listening

The Holy Spirit is your Companion in this life, so it is necessary to be in continual communication with Him as He helps you to navigate the traps of Satan and to do the Will of God.

The Holy Spirit and the Five Steps

How does hearing The Holy Spirit and the "five steps" fit together?

Whenever you have a problem, the first thing you should ask if is the Bible has the solution to it.

If the Bible is silent then ask the Holy Spirit what to do.

Is it a temptation?

If it is not, see if the "Guidelines to Knowing God’s Will" will help. If this does not help either, ask The Holy Spirit what to do.

If it is temptation, then ask Holy Spirit if it is an area you need deliverance from.

If you do not need deliverance then tell the demons to go to the abyss in Jesus’ Name.

If you need deliverance then use the "Five Steps to Victory."

How to be led by The Holy Spirit

Unless it is an emergency you are trained to react in whenever anything happens do not react. Stop and ask Holy Spirit what to do.

Get into the habit of asking Him about things and problems and listening to His advice before you comment on anything. He promises to guide you into all truth and not just spiritual truth. Learn to listen as you do your daily chores and activities and He will speak to you about things you need to know. Always walk around with one ear listening to The Holy Spirit.

Seek to be always in a right relationship with Jesus so you do not block hearing The Holy Spirit.

How to Hear God and His requirements:

Five Ways God Speaks:

Through what He says in His Bible (where possible, everything must be taken back to the principles in God’s Bible.

Godly counsel (which includes Holy Ghost-inspired prophecy.)

Current circumstances (if the door is not open to do the action, don’t push it open. Let God open it).

Answered prayer (but be careful as the devil also answers prayer and may provide his answer first in order to try to replace God’s.)

The witness of peace in your spirit over the decision.

The last is the most important for those who are citizens of The Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit will contend with your spirit and will not give you peace while you are being disobedient or planning to be disobedient.

There are at least Five Other Ways God Speaks:

Dreams and visions

Audible speech by Jesus or The Holy Spirit.

Thoughts placed in our mind

God-inspired prophecy

a personal visit by Jesus or an angel of His.

All of the above ways are still subject to the witness of peace in your heart as to the event and as to what you asked or what was advised to you. It is very important to discern the spirit behind these as Satan can appear as an angel of God and try to mislead you. Satan was once an angel so knows how to behave and look like one. When he tries to mislead you, there will be fear and not peace in what you see or hear.

There is a warning about the points in both sections - If you desire something excessively, Satan can give you an answer in one of these ways. Because you desire it so much, you cannot hear God’s Spirit and you will have peace when you should not. To avoid this, you must not covet something so that it becomes an idol as then Satan can mislead you concerning it.
